In case you’ve missed the previews for this particular flick… check it out HERE. If you have seen it (and with the serious air-play I imagine you all have) you know this is the latest Action movie to capitalize on several of Hollywood’s biggest stars well into their AARP years.
For starters I want to come out and say that as for action movies go: explosions, quick trigger fingers, witty banter and plot twists are all key players for the greats… and sadly it’s all too often that movies get caught up too much in just one of those ideas. “Red” has a clear view on exactly what it wants to be and doesn’t stray at all! I’ve said in the past that a good movie is one that holds your attention… and a great movie leaves you begging for more. “Red” definitely holds your attention… and leaves you with a faint interest in seeing it again. With a cast that is famous for their pristine media history, each person steps up their acting chops and absolutely holds their own… earning any praise they have received in the past. Either cool and collective, or crazy and paranoid… this truly all-star cast gives you 111 minutes of pure, unadulterated, action pow. Also, worthy of mention is Karl Urban (Star Trek, Doom)… holding his own amongst those that have been selling out movie theaters for decades.
Final Word: If you’re in the mood for a fun movie with a few huge explosions and the underlining theme that Grandpa can still kick serious ass… see it for sure!
